Our dedicated tutors have been teaching since July 2006 and the overwhelming majority feel the tutor/student experience has been worthwhile and rewarding.

The reasons for wanting to be a tutor are as varied as the number of tutors in our literacy council. Most reasons are social, humanistic, and personal. Whatever the reason, our students appreciate the opportunity to learn, their families benefit greatly, and our community is stronger because of it. Most tutors claim that their lives are more meaningful and they have benefitted from the program as much as their student.

Tutors should meet the following expectations:

	Complete 14 hours of training
	Agree to tutor for a 6 month time period
	Use Laubach and suggested materials
	Meet with student at least once a week for 1-2 hours
	Meet with student in a public location
	Keep records of student’s progress
	Provide reports on student’s progress
	Pay $10 for teaching materials (half the cost)
	Attend inservice/network meetings (optional)
